Marine Self Defense Force supply ship "Mashu" and escort ship "Ikazuchi"

[Yurikamome] February 8, 2010 13:48

13,500 tons of the Marine Self Defense Force's supply ship "Mashu" and 4,550 tons of the escort ship "Ikazuchi", which has been engaged in refueling and supplying water to foreign ships developing "fighting against terrorism" in the Indian Ocean (off Somaliya, etc.). Returned to Harumi Wharf on the morning of the 6th.

       13,500 tons of "Mashu" dive the Rainbow Bridge and pointed the bow to Harumi Wharf.

      It is a tugboat that sticks to the side.

             The tugboat pushes a large ship in a narrow place to operate skillfully.

             Next, 4,550 tons of the escort ship "Ikazuchi" came in.

       "Ikazuchi" ... At Kojien, there was an explanation that "Ikazuchi" = lightning".

      "Mashu" turns further and approaches the quay in front of you.

     I can't see the tugboat, but I'm slowly pushing it from the port side (the other side).

     On the other side, 4,550 tons of "Ikazuchi" pass slowly. 

     The quay is home to stakeholders such as welcome families.
